Anzac Day Trust Fund Grant Program 2025 - Stream B

This annual program offers payments from the Anzac Day Trust Fund (ADTF) to eligible ex-service organisations that provide assistance to Queensland veterans and their dependants.

Please read the Program Guidelines for Stream B on the QVC website - Anzac Day Trust Fund (qvc.qld.gov.au) before proceeding with your application.

The 2025 round is now open for applications, and will close at 11:59pm on Monday 28 July 2025.

Late applications will not be accepted.

Note: In recent years the grant program has been significantly over-subscribed (i.e. the amount that was requested far exceeded the available funding pool). Submitting an application does not guarantee that you will be approved funding or that you will receive the full amount of your request.

If you have questions about the application process or any of the questions in this form, you may contact the Queensland Veterans' Council Secretariat on (07) 3003 9950 or by sending an email to anzacdaytrustfund@qvc.qld.gov.au

Please refer to the Glossary in the Guidelines if you are unsure how to interpret words or phrases in this application form.

Veteran(s)

For the purposes of this grant program, "veterans" are defined in the Anzac Day Act 1995:

• • Persons who served Australia in its defence forces in time of war or armed conflict; or

• • Anyone now a Queensland resident who served in the defence forces of a country or power allied or associated with Australia -
    • in a war in which Australia was involved; or
    • in a conflict which the QVC considers to have the attributes of a war in which Australia was or is involved.

Applicant Organisation

The phrases 'the organisation' and 'your organisation' are used throughout this application form. Please note that 'organisation' refers to your local operation.

Example:

You may operate under the auspices of "Helping Veterans Queensland", a group that provides services across the state, but your ADTF application is for funding for the ''Helping Veterans Toowoomba Sub-Branch''.

For the purposes of this grant program, your sub-branch (eg Helping Veterans Tooowoomba Sub-Branch) is regarded as the applicant. The state-wide operation will be referred to as the parent body.

All responses about the organisation should be just about the operations of the applicant organisation (eg Helping Veterans Toowoomba Sub-Branch); not that of the parent body.
